	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 85, Chesbro.  Jeffrey Lynn Azuar Memorial Highway.
   This measure would designate the section of Interstate Highway
Route 80 that passes through Vallejo, from the Carquinez Bridge to
Columbus Parkway, the Jeffrey Lynn Azuar Memorial Highway.  The
measure also would request the Department of Transportation to
determine the cost for appropriate plaques and markers showing this
special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering that cost, to erect those plaques and markers.




   WHEREAS, Vallejo Police Officer Jeffrey Lynn Azuar was killed in
the line of duty on April 12, 2000;  and
   WHEREAS, Officer Azuar was born and raised in Vallejo and served
the community as an officer with the Vallejo Police Department for
over 21 years; and
   WHEREAS, During his career with the Vallejo Police Department,
Officer Azuar served as a patrol officer, a narcotics officer, a
member of the SWAT team, a member of the Honor Guard, and a K-9
officer; and
   WHEREAS, Officer Azuar received several commendations for
dedication and service to his community;  and
   WHEREAS, Officer Azuar's career is particularly distinguished by
the regard, respect, and love held for him by his coworkers and the
people of Vallejo; and
   WHEREAS, In recognition of Officer Azuar's service and ultimate
sacrifice for the people of Vallejo, it is appropriate that the
section of Interstate Highway Route 80 that passes through Vallejo,
from the Carquinez Bridge to Columbus Parkway, be dedicated to the
memory of Vallejo Police Officer Jeffrey Lynn Azuar; now, therefore,
be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
section of Interstate Highway Route 80 that passes through Vallejo,
from the Carquinez Bridge to Columbus Parkway, the Jeffrey Lynn Azuar
Memorial Highway; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of erecting the appropriate plaques and markers,
consistent with the signing requirements for the state highway
system, showing the special designation, and, upon receiving
donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those
plaques and markers; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
